A one stop destination for all Right to Information (RTI) matters

CIC: Delay appears to be inadvertent as it is not a case of non- response but the PIO exercised his judgment and it would not be appropriate to take penal action for an error in understanding the provisions of the RTI Act; Penalty proceedings dropped

Appellant sought information regarding the HRA, salary slip and penal rent - CIC: Reply of the FAA shows that other points of the RTI application were suitably replied - CIC directed the PIO is directed to provide the pay bills for the period available

Copy of certificate of registration u/s 12A were sought by a Trust - CIC: Issues raised in the Appeal cannot be adjudicated upon within the confines of the RTI Act; PIO cannot be compelled to provide such information which does not exist in their records

Information about examination conducted by IAF for various posts - CIC: The RTI application was filed by Ms Latika Chitre and the subsequent appeals were filed by a different person, M P Shinde - CIC: The second appeal is not maintainable

Addition of surname in son’s name in service record - CIC: Delay of 05 days in transferring the RTI application from Min of Defence to Dept of Military Affairs and a further delay of 15 days to the PIO - CIC: PIO cautioned to strictly follow the timelines

CIC: Appellant has placed the facts of the case in a cumbersome manner - CIC: Appellant is in a habit of narrating grievances and seeks for information as a passing reference which PIO cannot be expected to deduce and interpret to his satisfaction

RTI activist goes for fast unto death

12 Aug, 2012

As many posts of Information Commissioners are lying vacant in Haryana, many pleas under RTI are pending with the State Information Commission (SIC), some of which are for over a year. In this regard, a Right to Information (RTI) activist from Karnal district has demanded the state government to immediately fill the vacant posts. To press his demand, Monish Kumar Sharma has gone on fast unto death near the statue of Mahatma Gandhi since August 8, 2012.

He has cited a ruling of Punjab and Haryana High court in which the court had given directions to the Haryana government to set up a search committee for the purpose of immediate appointment of Information Commissioners.
